I know I shouldn’t be “anybody-ist” … But pragmatically, if we just banned rich, powerful men from participating in politics for a couple of generations … surely the world would be a better place and humanity would have a better chance of survival?

Is there a global movement for social and environmental justice? It appears to me there are pressure groups working on specific issues but no overarching, easily-identifiable collaboration to address the interconnected challenges of poverty, inequality, prejudice, climate & biodiversity crises.

It’s Earth Day. Even the BBC didn’t mention this amongst their news headlines today. But it’s ok … apparently scientists have worked out how to grow food in space! Sigh!

I wonder how many of Trump’s inner circle sold a lot of shares last week? And how many of them will buy those shares back as the market bottoms-out, just before he starts rolling-back the tariffs?

Much as I think electric vehicles are a good idea … until something better comes along … like maybe cheap, efficient public transport … I’m also heartened to see Musk’s stocks dropping like a stone. Good to know that you can’t participate in wrecking a democracy without paying a price.

“The old world is dying and the new world struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters” Antonio Gramsci. Written while he was imprisoned by the facists in the 1930’s. Unnervingly relevant to our times?

Littlehampton to Bognor … winter walk. In places we are clearly losing the battle to prevent coastal erosion. Some dismally claggy fields behind the beach which might make a wonderful wetland habitat if the farmer could be incentivised to give up some presumably marginal land?
